Today marks our first year anniversary as full-timers, and it's been great! Have seen so many wonderful places.
Last year we had milestones to accomplish (e.g. family reunion in MN and visiting family in MI and IN). We set our travel days to be ~3 hours of driving so we had many stops along the way. Most were for 3 nights to 2 weeks. Only had three 1 night stops. We then spent 5 months in Mesa, AZ and 2 months in San Diego (Chula Vista).
The wife didn't care too much for stopping that many stops due to having to set up the 5er, so this year we're increasing our driving time and staying no less than a week when we stop.
Currently in Buellton, CA and headed north through OR, WA, ID, MT, UT, NV then back to AZ for the winter.
While we've had our issues along the way (like the nose sinking to the ground after disconnecting due to a loose hydraulic connection), we've managed to survive :)
Safe travels all.
